Alongside basketball coaching legend Rollie Massimino, Lasorda was in West Palm Beach to pick up his honorary degree from Northwood University, where he was scheduled to speak as the school's commencement speaker Tuesday afternoon.

WPBF 25 News' Erin Guy on Tuesday spent a few minutes with Lasorda, who weighed in on the racist remarks by Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling.

"I've been a friend of that guy's for 30 years," he said. "It doesn't surprise me that he said those things. And he shouldn't have said it. He just hurt himself by talking too much and doing things he shouldn't be doing."
